Zezimus 1523 Share Posted February 22, 2014 As you step through the gates of Kal’Ithrun, your eyes are drawn to a large parchment, nailed to the centre of the notice board. Its intricate text appears to have been printed in gold ink and reads as follows. “Sons of Urguan, I a glad to announce the implementation of the Eight Amendment to the Articles of Urguan, the implementation of the Clan Council. Based upon the ideas presented forth within the Kjell Doctrine and Lord Onar Ireheart’s former proposal of an amendment, we hope that this change will give clans a greater say in the politics of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. In the next week, those whose clans have been selected to hold a seat on the council are expected to select their representatives from among the Clan Father and Clan Elders. Meetings will be held in accordance with the wishes of those who hold seats. The amendment shown below will outline the exact powers and responsibilities of the council. May Yemekar watch over you all. - Grand King Wulfgar Grandaxe.” Eighth Amendment to the Articles of Urguan Amendment to: Article I: Governmental Powers, Section B: The Councils Amendment type: Addition: Sub-section 3 “The Clan Council” Currently, the articles do not contain sub-section B3, and shall be amended to contain the following: The Clan Council The purpose of the Clan Council is to gather information and views from the different clans of the Grand Kingdom and present them to the Lord’s council. Each clan officially recognized by the Kingdom has the right to one member on the council, and it must be either a clan elder, or the clan father. This representative must be approved by both the respective clan father, and the Grand King. This person may not be on the Lord’s Council, or the Grand King himself. The Clan Council of Urguan shall meet every second elven week minimum. In order for a clan to hold a seat on the council, they must be living in the Kingdom, be honourable, and have substantial numbers. For a clan to be added or removed from the Clan Council entirely, there must be a 3/5 vote from the Lord's Council as well as the approval of the Grand King. A member may only be removed from his position by a vote of 3/5 of the Lord’s Council, plus the Grand King, or at the will of the respective clan father. If a member is somehow no longer a clan elder or the clan father, or if they obtain lordship, then they are automatically removed from the position. A chairman of the Clan Council shall manage the meeting and present the views of the council to the Lord’s and King’s councils. They have no extra power, but attend and speak at King’s council meetings. They may also attend and speak at Lord’s council meetings, unless otherwise directed. The Clan Council has the power to: Propose a law or amendment for review by the Lord’s council, with a vote greater than half, at which point the Lord’s Council would review it. Veto a declaration of war, with a unanimous vote. Veto a declaration of peace, with a unanimous vote. Veto the forming or breaking of an alliance, with a unanimous vote. Veto any law the Lord’s Council passes, with a unanimous vote. Overrule the Grand King’s pardon, with a unanimous vote. Petition the removal of the King’s Council member, with a unanimous vote. This will reduce the Lord’s vote to 2/5 rather than 3/5, and still requires the Grand King’s approval. Remove a Lord from the Lord's Council with a unanimous vote, along with the Grand King's approval. Veto the removal of a Lord, with a unanimous vote. Petition the removal of the Grand King, with a unanimous vote. This will reduce the Lord’s vote to 3/5 rather than 4/5. Veto the removal of a Grand King, with a unanimous vote. - Grand King Wulfgar Grandaxe - Lord Paladin Hogarth Irongut - Lord Protector Igor Ireheart - Lord Specter Farren Starbreaker - Lord Chancellor Zahrer Irongrinder - Lord Labourer Onar Ireheart Current Representatives of the Clans: The Grandaxe Clan – Fili Grandaxe The Irongut Clan – Hiebe Irongut The Starbreaker Clan – Dared Starbreaker The Irongrinder Clan – Tog Irongrinder The Frostbeard Clan – Vulkin Frostbeard The Ireheart Clan – Aldal Ireheart 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiebe 2493 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Unanimously votes seem a bit steep as clan reps wouldn't vote their own clansmen out of a position of power. We shall see how this goes but goodjob overall.)) Grumpy Grandpa Hiebe nods in approval of this addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulkin Frostbeard 58 Share Posted February 25, 2014 *Vulkin begins to notice everyone is selecting their clan representatives and nearly all the clans have chosen theirs. As Vulkin begins to notice this, he realizes that the first clan council will most likely be announced very soon with in the next few elven weeks. As he notices this, he smiles and wanders off to his clan hall to discuss things with his clan* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
